You can apply a policy to a PDF document in order to secure
the document. By applying a policy to a PDF document, you restrict
access to the document. You cannot apply a policy to a document
if the document is already secured with a policy.
While the document is open, you can also restrict access to Acrobat
and Adobe Reader features, including the ability to print and copy
text, make changes, and add signatures and comments to a document.
In addition, you can revoke a policy-protected PDF document when
you no longer want users to access the document.
You can monitor the use of a policy-protected document after
you distribute it. That is, you can see how the document is being
used and who is using it. For example, you can find out when somebody
has opened the document.
Summary of stepsTo apply a policy to a PDF document,
perform the following steps:
Include project files.
Create a Rights Management Client API object.
Retrieve a PDF document to which a policy is applied.
Apply an existing policy to the PDF document.
Save the policy-protected PDF document.
Include project filesInclude necessary files into your development
project. If you are creating a client application using Java, then
include the necessary JAR files. If you are using web services,
then make sure that you include the proxy files.
Create a Rights Management Client APIobjectBefore you can programmatically
perform a Rights Management service operation, create a Rights Management
service client object. If you are using the Java API, create a RightsManagementClient object.
If you are using the Rights Management web service API, create a RightsManagementServiceService object.
Retrieve a PDF documentYou can retrieve a PDF document in order
to apply a policy. After you apply a policy to the PDF document,
users are restricted when using the document. For example, if the
policy does not enable the document to be opened while offline, then
users must be online to open the document.
Apply an existing policy to the PDF documentTo apply a policy
to a PDF document, reference an existing policy and specify which
policy set the policy belongs to. The user who is setting the connection properties
must have access to the specified policy. If not, an exception occurs.
Save the PDF documentAfter the Rights Management service
applies a policy to a PDF document, you can save the policy-protected
PDF document as a PDF file.
Apply a policy to a PDF document using the Java APIApply a policy to a PDF document by using the Rights Management
API (Java):
Include project files.
Include client JAR files,
such as adobe-rightsmanagement-client.jar, in your Java project’s
class path.
Create a Rights Management Client API object.
Retrieve a PDF document.
Create a java.io.FileInputStream object
that represents the PDF document by using its constructor. Pass
a string value that specifies the location of the PDF document.
Create a com.adobe.idp.Document object by
using its constructor and passing the java.io.FileInputStream object.
Apply an existing policy to the PDF document.
Create a DocumentManager object by invoking
the RightsManagementClient object’s getDocumentManager method.
Apply a policy to the PDF document by invoking the DocumentManager object’s protectDocument method
and passing the following values:
The com.adobe.idp.Document object
that contains the PDF document to which the policy is applied.
A string value that specifies the name of the document.
A string value that specifies the name of the policy set
to which the policy belongs. You can specify a null value
that results in the MyPolicies policy set being
used.
A string value that specifies the policy name.
A string value that represents the name of the user manager
domain of the user who is the publisher of the document. This parameter
value is optional and can be null (if this parameter is null, then
the next parameter value must be null).
A string value that represents the name of the canonical
name of the user manager user who is the publisher of the document.
This parameter value is optional and can be null (if
this parameter is null, then the previous parameter value must be null).
A com.adobe.livecycle.rightsmanagement.Locale that represents
the locale that is used for selecting the MS Office template. This
parameter value is optional and not used for PDF documents. To secure
a PDF document, specify null.
The protectDocument method
returns a RMSecureDocumentResult object that contains
the policy-protected PDF document.
Save the PDF document.
Invoke the RMSecureDocumentResult object’s getProtectedDoc method
to get the policy-protected PDF document. This method returns a com.adobe.idp.Document object.
Create a java.io.File object and ensure
that the file extension is PDF.
Invoke the com.adobe.idp.Document object’s copyToFile method to
copy the contents of the Document object to the
file (ensure that you use the Document object that
was returned by the getProtectedDoc method).
Apply a policy to a PDF document using the web service APIApply a policy to a PDF document by using the Rights Management
API (web service):
Include project files.
Create a Microsoft .NET
project that uses MTOM. Ensure that you use the following WSDL definition: http://localhost:8080/soap/services/RightsManagementService?WSDL&lc_version=9.0.1.
Remarque : Replace localhost with the IP
address of the server hosting LiveCycle.
Create a Rights Management Clinet API object.
Create a RightsManagementServiceClient object
by using its default constructor.
Create a RightsManagementServiceClient.Endpoint.Address object by
using the System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress constructor.
Pass a string value that specifies the WSDL to the LiveCycle service (for example, http://localhost:8080/soap/services/RightsManagementService?WSDL.)
You do not need to use the lc_version attribute. This
attribute is used when you create a service reference.)
Create a System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding object
by getting the value of the RightsManagementServiceClient.Endpoint.Binding field. Cast
the return value to BasicHttpBinding.
Set the System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding object’s MessageEncoding field
to WSMessageEncoding.Mtom. This value ensures that
MTOM is used.
Enable basic HTTP authentication by performing the following
tasks:
Assign the LiveCycle user name to the
field RightsManagementServiceClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName.
Assign the corresponding password value to the field RightsManagementServiceClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password.
Assign the constant value HttpClientCredentialType.Basic to the
field BasicHttpBindingSecurity.Transport.ClientCredentialType.
Assign the constant value BasicHttpSecurityMode.TransportCredentialOnly to
the field BasicHttpBindingSecurity.Security.Mode.
Retrieve a PDF document.
Create a BLOB object
by using its constructor. The BLOB object is used
to store a PDF document to which a policy is applied.
Create a System.IO.FileStream object by
invoking its constructor and passing a string value that represents
the file location of the PDF document and the mode in which to open
the file.
Create a byte array that stores the content of the System.IO.FileStream object.
Determine the byte array size by getting the System.IO.FileStream object’s Length property.
Populate the byte array with stream data by invoking the System.IO.FileStream object’s Read method.
Pass the byte array, the starting position, and the stream length
to read.
Populate the BLOB object by assigning its MTOM field
with the contents of the byte array.
Apply an existing policy to the PDF document.
Apply
a policy to the PDF document by invoking the RightsManagementServiceClient object’s protectDocument method
and passing the following values:
The BLOB object
that contains the PDF document to which the policy is applied.
A string value that specifies the name of the document.
A string value that specifies the name of the policy set
to which the policy belongs. You can specify a null value
that results in the MyPolicies policy set being
used.
A string value that specifies the policy name.
A string value that represents the name of the user manager
domain of the user who is the publisher of the document. This parameter
value is optional and can be null (if this parameter is null, then
the next parameter value must be null).
A string value that represents the name of the canonical
name of the user manager user who is the publisher of the document.
This parameter value is optional and can be null (if this parameter
is null, then the previous parameter value must be null).
A RMLocale value that specifies the locale
value (for example, RMLocale.en).
A string output parameter that is used to store the policy
identifier value.
A string output parameter that is used to store the policy-protected identifier
value.
A string output parameter that is used to store the mime
type (for example, application/pdf).
The protectDocument method
returns a BLOB object that contains the policy-protected
PDF document.
Save the PDF document.
Create a System.IO.FileStream object
by invoking its constructor and passing a string value that represents
the file location of the policy-protected PDF document.
Create a byte array that stores the data content of the BLOB object
that was returned by the protectDocument method.
Populate the byte array by getting the value of the BLOB object’s MTOM data
member.
Create a System.IO.BinaryWriter object by
invoking its constructor and passing the System.IO.FileStream object.
Write the contents of the byte array to a PDF file by invoking
the System.IO.BinaryWriter object’s Write method
and passing the byte array.
